NIS: Whoops, Cross Edge not out until May

A side-scrolling RPG mash-up for the PS3, Cross Edge has characters hailing from every corner of the Japanese role-playing game universe (or at least from the NIS publishing house): Disgaea, Ar Tonelico, Atlier Marie, Spectral Souls, and Darkstalkers just for starters.

Cross Edge won't be in stores until May. Not May 24th, exactly. Just May.
